Bybit froze my $6,500 account over a 69 USDT withdrawal attempt

I attempted to withdraw 69 USDT to an exchange-service address I had used intentionally.

The transaction was flagged as high risk, but instead of allowing me to change the address, Bybit restricted the entire account. Approximately $6,500 of my funds became inaccessible while support repeated general templates rather than resolving the specific withdrawal.

I understand transaction monitoring, but freezing an entire balance over one small transfer requires a clear review path and a realistic completion deadline.
